Twelve Bouts Feature Intramurals Tonight
By RINALDO CARMAZZI
With the first bout starting at 8:15, USF hits the big
time along fistic row tonight when the Fourth Annual Foghorn-sponsored Intramural Bouts are staged in the newly
renovated Don Bowl. Twenty-six ring gladiators will collide
as part of twelve bouts, which include three heavyweight
tussles and one exhibition match, in the best fight card ever
witnessed by the Hilltop. General admission is set at ten
cents for USF'ers, twenty-five cents for outsiders and a 55
cent adult high, with tax included. .
Ray Lunny popular local lightweight, has agreed to
officiate and will be helped in this department by Pete
Breceda, former Intercollegiate champ, and boxing coach Red
McEntee. Lunny is the pugilistic idol of the Bay Area and one
of the best boxers produced in San Francisco. Thus far he
has lost only two fights in his professional career while
making a name for himself throughout the country as a
smooth performer.
Sports Editor Ernie Cope of the Call-Bulletin and several of his staff including Nelson Cullenward and Cartoonist
Tommy Thompson will act as judges along with the
Chronicle Sports Editor Harry B. Smith. Several more
sportswriters are scheduled to make a surprise appearance
tonight, together with other ring celebrities.
AWARDS GIVEN
Either trophies or medals will be given to the winners, but this has not been decided on as yet. How
ever, it is reasonably certain that the losers will also
receive some sort of award.
Opposing managers will be Pippo Scandurra and Ed
Trainor, who have a small wager between themselves to see
which one can produce the most winners for the evening.

"Jeep" Stamp Sellout!
Bookstore Stormed In
First Week of Sale
"Make Them
Weep —Buy
A Jeep
99
Selling out the Bookstore's
supply of Victory Stamps, in
the first two days, the Foghorn's "Buy a Jeep" campaign this week swung into
high gear with every indication that the student body
would swiftly realize the goal
that has been set before it.
"$500 in Victory Stamps to
Buy a Jeep," said the Foghorn
last week, and the students
responded by buying up the
Bookstore's entire stock and
forcing Mr. Andrew Boss, S.
J., BOokstore manager, to
seek new ways to keep a steady
stream of stamps pouring out to
the Student Body.
PLAN OUTLINED
Here is the "Buy A Jeep" plan, as
revealed in the columns of this
paper last week:
1: The students of the University
of San Francisco will concentrate
their purchases of Victory Bonds
and Stamps at the University
Bookstore in the next few weeks,
until the total purchases pass the
$500 mark, the price of the Army's
famous combat car.
2: The campaign concentrates the
normal stamp purchases of students
and their families into one channel,
so that the war effort of the University over a given time can be
definitely computed.
CAMPUS CEREMONIES
S: After the $500 mark has been
reached, appropriate ceremonies will
be held on the campus to dedicate
the "Jeep" which the contributions
of the University have made possible.
Here are features of the drive
which campaign heads pointed out
this week:
No campus group will receive
any benefit from the "Buy A
.Jeep" program.
Handling of funds, normally
considered the bane of any campus drive, has been cut to the
minimum. All money goes immediately to the Bookstore and
then to the Federal Treasury.
One dollar from every student
in the University will push the
"Buy A Jeep" drive well over the
goal. Even spread out into one
twenty-five cent stamp a week,
the drive would end with a bang
inside of one month.
Campaign heads this week issued
an announcement of a quota system whereby every student finds
himself listed in some classification
with a definite amount of stamps
to be purchased by his group.
With this quota system, every
student will be contacted, through
any campus organization to which
he belongs, or through the officers
of his class.

Terrific impetus was given to the Foghorn "Buy A Jeep"

Doctor Albert Shumate, chairman
of the visiting staff of the Student
Health Unit has announced that
plans are now virtually complete
for the operation of a Medical Aid
Station on the campus, which has
been equipped with all supplies
suggested by the American Red
Cross for the operation of, such
stations.
It is hoped that official recognition of the local unit will be forthcoming in a few days. It is not
intended, stated the staff, that this
station serve as a public center.
It is mainly in connection with the
demands of the campus community.
In order to improve the services
of the station the staff has asked
for donations of blankets and cots
which may be required during an
extensive emergency. Theise will
be received at the Health Office at
any time during the next week.
The recent survey reveals that
many USF mediaal alumni and
Health Service members are now
serving in various branches of the
armed forces. Doctors John Buz-
zano, John Firpo, Ed Healey, Tim
Lally and Thomas A. Broderick,
are among the number.
Doctor William A. Reilly is the
Chief of the Medical Division of

CLUB QUOTAS
ASSIGNED IN
"JEEP"J)RIVE
All active campus organizations, and each of the four
Day School classes were this
week given quotas to be filled
in the Foghorn "Buy A Jeep"
drive.
In determining the amounts
which clubs will contribute,
campaign heads took into
consideration the fact that a
number of students belong to
two or more organizations.
The quotas, therefore, are not
based strictly on the lists of
active members on file with
the Dean of Men.
All those who for one reason or
another are not affiliated with any
club will find themselves under the
class quota, which has been divided
proportionately among the four undergraduate classes and makes up
the difference between the $500
goal and the total club quota.
Here are the Figures:
Maraschi Club $60
Wasmann Club 40

Students, in making their purchases of Victory Stamps at the
Bookstore, are reminded to check
with attendants that their money
is credited to the proper quota.
Five Don speakers—George
Whelan, Gerry O'Cqnnor and
Keith Bridwell—were selected last Tuesday to represent
USF at the district conference
of the National Extempore
Discussion Contest being held
today at San Francisco State
College.
The contest is being held
mainly to interest students in
Inter-American affairs, inform the public concerning
Inter-American relations in
this area and formulate solutions for hemispheric problems, it was learneds.
SOLIDARITY VITAL
"Since hemispheric solidarity is
vital to the security of the Americas, participants are making a
very real and practical contribution to national defense", stated
Dr. Alan Nichols, Director of the
National Public Discussions Committee,* Inc.
Under the guidance of Father
Peter Dunne, USF participants have
been meeting regularly, discussing
hemispheric problems and offering
solutions for the many and varied
questions.
Dr. Stephen Kuhnle, USF Professor of Economics, has given the
group a fundamental background
in the economic problems of the
Western Hemisphere, while Mr.
Dullea, S. J., varsity debate coach,
has helped those who lack experience in public discussion.
DONS WELL REPRESENTED
According to Father Peter Dunne:
"USF will be well represented by
students who posses both historical
background and oratorical ability."
Today's discussion begins at 1:00
p. m. in the Frederick Burke
Auditorium, on the San Francisco
State campus. Round Table discussions will be followed by an
address from President Roberts of
San Francisco State College. At
4:30 p. m. participants will attend
a tea at the Palace Hotel sponsored
by Pacific House.
Winners of the afternoon discussions will draw lots for topics
at 6:30 p. m. and must be prepared
by 8 o'clock tonight. The evening
speeches are to be held at the
CBS studios in the Palace Hotel.
This affair is open to the public.
KEARNEY IS
BETTER
Latest word from Saint Francis Hospital, where Student Body
President Phil Kearney is at present recovering from an appendectomy, reveals that Phil is doing well and is rarin' to get back
on the job.
An appendectomy, however, requires at least three weeks of
oonvalescenae, which means Phil
has at least another ten days to
spend in the pleasant environs of
St. Francis Hospital.
There was even a report that
Phil was regretting the fact that
he could not compete in tonight's
Intramural Bouts.
We wonder if he couldn't do
a pretty good job even as a convalescent?

TALK TELLS
DANGERS OF
GAS RAIDS
"Modern warfare is no longer
confined to the battlefield, but endangers also the civilian population," related freshman member,
Ray Phillips at the Tuesday noon
meeting of the Bio-Chem club.
''When warfare is brought to the
civilian, it usually means bombings,
a ■■■■? with bombing there is always
tiae probability that the enecsy may
use toxic or poisonous gases to
endanger the people," Phillips
stated.
GAS TREATMENT
"The gases may be laid in three
ways: by bombs, in shells, and by
spraying from airplanes. The laying of these gases requires certain
conditions in order to become effective. Conditions favorable for
gas, are cool or moderate weather,
light winds, and fog. Conditions
varying from these decrease the
effectiveness of the gases proportionally."
FIRST AID MATERIAL
"Danger rises with use of war
gases when the civilian population
is untrained. Naturally to eliminate
this- factor which makes gases
effective by creating panic, as well
as doing harm, the civilians must
be trained, or at least acquainted
with the various war gases, their
treatment, and protection against
them. The advantage of a trained
population is the prevention of
panic and casualties that could
have been avoided."
Bio-Chem leaders noted that this
information that Phillips presented
to the club is the same material
that the moderator of the club,
Mr. Gorman, as instructor in the
civilian defense, is teaching air
raid wardens, as part of the education of the people of San Francisco
to the dangers of war gases.
SEE GREAT SUCCESS FOR
ANNUAL DEBATE TOURNEY
From all corners of the state,
entries came pouring into the
registrar's office of the University
of San Francisco during the past
week for the Second Annual Debate and Oratorical Contest to be
held on the University campus

Under the auspices of University
officials, the Soph Debaters sponsored contest reportedly shows
early signs of drawing even greater
support from California High

DEFENSE LECTURE
The meeting of the St. Ives Law Club Wednesday night was
honored by the presence of Municipal Judge Alden Ames who address the Ivesmen on the topic, "Civilian Defense." The talk dealing
with the duties of air-raid wardens and other emergency workers, was
Illustrated by slides and moton pictures.
At the meeting two weeks ago, Dean Edwin J. Owens of the
University of Santa Clara was guest speaker, and traced the origins
of natural and positive law.
It was announced this week that the new members of St. Ives
will be awarded certificates of membership at the next meeting,
March 18.
Meanwhile those sophomores and juniors who wish to join the
club next year should turn in their applications for membership this
month. The applications will be voted on, and new members elected

EXECS BARELY HAVE
QUORUM FOR MEETING
With eight out of seventeen voting members absent in
the change from Friday afternoon to Sunday morning meetings, the Executive Committee met Sunday morning to transact the following business:
Expenses of the Soph Debaters and the Glee Club were
met with $30 and $5 appropriations^
approved by the Finance Committee.
Stage crewmen Horgan and
O'Malley, along with Bob Rossi and
Bill Kern, were added to the long
list of committees that have been
appointed to "investigate the purchases of a public address system"
for the Auditorium.
REPORT DELAYED
The final financial report on the
Winter Carnival was delayed by
six hold-outs who, by neglecting to
make their ticket returns within
the time limit, this week became
subject to Board of Student Control fines.
Mal McCarthy, after requesting a
"gala" basketball rally in honor of
the team's success, and having the
idea "investigated" by a four-man
committee, was informed that he
will soon be the recipient of a key
as a token of appreciation from the
student body for his work during
the past two years.
BATTLE ON FIGHTS
Treasurer Al Lawson made an effort to bring control of the Foghorn
Intramurals back to the Foghorn,
an effort that was only partly successful after negotiations with the
Athletic Department through the
week. Lawson wanted complete control for the paper, which succeeded
in getting half in a compromise for
full control in the future.
The Executives protested that the
Foghorn "Buy A Jeep" campaign
had not been brought to their attention before it was broken in the
columns of the student paper. Publication heads, absent at the time,
this week promised a detailed explanation of the plan at the next
meeting this Sunday.
Don Horgan announced that the
Senior Patio, long-awaited but now
seldom-used goal of the class of
'41, will be dedicated during the
Junior Week program. Junior Class
President McLennan, in the meanwhile, had announced that the program would be held in the week of
May 3-9.
"The script for the Adios program is well under way toward
early completion," McLennon said.
"Other President's Day committeemen are hard at work, planning and
organizing the various events scheduled for the dayy's activities," the
Junior President concluded.
DON GLEEMEN
BOLSTER BID
FOR HONORS
Though still far from their
coveted goal of a championship
spot in Fred Waring's National
Glee ~Club' Competition, the Don
Glee Club reportedly further
strengthened their bid for the
National Glee honors with two
successful rehearsals this week and
a few new members added to their
roster.
The first recordings of the contest, to be made at the San Francisco studios of NBC, will consist
of "Sweet and Low", "USF Hymn"
and another popular selection to
be chosen by the conductor, Mr.
Leo Hovorka sometimes in the near
future.
"WE CAN WIN"
"Our call for new recruits is
still on", stated Mr. Hovorka
this week. " We can use any and
every man willing and able to
turn out for the Glee Club.
"Every day I am more oon-
vinced that we can really go
places in this contest if we
receive the cooperation of every
student on the campus.
"If you can't sing, then send
someone, one of your friends
who can, around to rehersals.
TRD? TO N. Y.
"We have a bunch of boys who
are out to win for themselves
and for USF some really fine
publicity, AND A TRIP TO
NEW YORK VIA UNITED ADS
LINES, WITH PERSONAL APPEARANCES IN CARNEGDE
HALL AND ON THE RADIO
OVER A NATION-WIDE HOOKUP."
"The end in view is certainly one
worth striving after," Hovorka concluded.
The entrance of the Glee Club
into the "Pleasuretime" National
Glee Club Competition has received
the wholehearted endorsement of
the Dean of the University, Father
Raymond Feely, S. J., and the
Dean of Men, Father John Giambastiani, S. J.
CREMEN SEES SELLOUT
FOR FROSH FANDANGO
Latest reports from the Frosh
Fandango committee announce that
bids for next Saturday night's

that a sellout is assured by the
early part of next week.
According to Ed Cremen, two
hundred and seventy-five bids will
be sold, and to date over one hundred fifty have been purchased.
Cremen, likewise stated that no
deposits will be taken at this late

too great to insure proper reserve
tion.

Fandango will take place in two
ballrooms along with a glassed-in
veranda which runs the full length
of the club.
Music for this year's Fandango
will be supplied by Steve Sacco and

in the Bay area for his scintillating
style of music, having played at
numerous fraternity and sorority
dances at Stanford and California.
Bids, which are priced at $2.50
may be procured from any of the
following committeemen, Ed Cremen, Bill Barry, Frank Blackwell,

Says "Long
Cruel War
In Sight"
Speaking on the topic
"Youth in America's Crisis",
Robert McCarthy was pronounced the winner in the
final round of the thirty-
seventh annual Luckman ora-
torial contest last Tuesday
evening in the University auditorium.
"The class of '42 has nothing more
to look forward to than a long,
cruel, and mechanized war, but
we will fight for the country which
has given us everything we have
or ever hoped to have. We are only
too happy to protect its shores from
the enemies of society," McCarthy
said.
Eugene O'Meara, winner of the
1941 contest, gave the introductory
remarks and introduced the speakers.
Bill Wall spoke on the "Basis
for Battles." "Every part of history
shows that Liberty is a part of
every man's life, that he fought
for it till he won, just as the
United States eventually will
also," he said.
"A Challenge to the American
People" was the topic Frank Mc
Ginnis chose to discuss. "I do not
fear the leaders, the soldiers,
sailors, and marines. I fear the
people themselves", he said.
Gerald O'Connor, who spoke on
"Peace-Then What?" said there
will be no peace in this world till
the world will rumble, not with
guns, but with people falling to
their knees crying out "Lord
save us, lest we perish.'
The fifth speaker, Tom Collins,
pointed out that we are told to
aot normally in these times of
war. "We will never win this war,
if we act normally," Collins said.
"We must first return to God, we
must prove to Him that we are
worthy of winning this war!"
"Science vs. Christianity" was
discussed by John Gallagher.
"Religion is the strongest sentiment and bond to hold two things
together," he said. "Religion must
be the bond which will hold the
United States and victory together."
he concluded.

Five Don speakers—George
Whelan, Gerry O'Cqnnor and
Keith Bridwell—were selected last Tuesday to represent
USF at the district conference
of the National Extempore
Discussion Contest being held
today at San Francisco State
College.
The contest is being held
mainly to interest students in
Inter-American affairs, inform the public concerning
Inter-American relations in
this area and formulate solutions for hemispheric problems, it was learneds.
SOLIDARITY VITAL
"Since hemispheric solidarity is
vital to the security of the Americas, participants are making a
very real and practical contribution to national defense", stated
Dr. Alan Nichols, Director of the
National Public Discussions Committee,* Inc.
Under the guidance of Father
Peter Dunne, USF participants have
been meeting regularly, discussing
hemispheric problems and offering
solutions for the many and varied
questions.
Dr. Stephen Kuhnle, USF Professor of Economics, has given the
group a fundamental background
in the economic problems of the
Western Hemisphere, while Mr.
Dullea, S. J., varsity debate coach,
has helped those who lack experience in public discussion.
DONS WELL REPRESENTED
According to Father Peter Dunne:
"USF will be well represented by
students who posses both historical
background and oratorical ability."
Today's discussion begins at 1:00
p. m. in the Frederick Burke
Auditorium, on the San Francisco
State campus. Round Table discussions will be followed by an
address from President Roberts of
San Francisco State College. At
4:30 p. m. participants will attend
a tea at the Palace Hotel sponsored
by Pacific House.
Winners of the afternoon discussions will draw lots for topics
at 6:30 p. m. and must be prepared
by 8 o'clock tonight. The evening
speeches are to be held at the
CBS studios in the Palace Hotel.
This affair is open to the public.
KEARNEY IS
BETTER
Latest word from Saint Francis Hospital, where Student Body
President Phil Kearney is at present recovering from an appendectomy, reveals that Phil is doing well and is rarin' to get back
on the job.
An appendectomy, however, requires at least three weeks of
oonvalescenae, which means Phil
has at least another ten days to
spend in the pleasant environs of
St. Francis Hospital.
There was even a report that
Phil was regretting the fact that
he could not compete in tonight's
Intramural Bouts.
We wonder if he couldn't do
a pretty good job even as a convalescent?

TALK TELLS
DANGERS OF
GAS RAIDS
"Modern warfare is no longer
confined to the battlefield, but endangers also the civilian population," related freshman member,
Ray Phillips at the Tuesday noon
meeting of the Bio-Chem club.
''When warfare is brought to the
civilian, it usually means bombings,
a ■■■■? with bombing there is always
tiae probability that the enecsy may
use toxic or poisonous gases to
endanger the people," Phillips
stated.
GAS TREATMENT
"The gases may be laid in three
ways: by bombs, in shells, and by
spraying from airplanes. The laying of these gases requires certain
conditions in order to become effective. Conditions favorable for
gas, are cool or moderate weather,
light winds, and fog. Conditions
varying from these decrease the
effectiveness of the gases proportionally."
FIRST AID MATERIAL
"Danger rises with use of war
gases when the civilian population
is untrained. Naturally to eliminate
this- factor which makes gases
effective by creating panic, as well
as doing harm, the civilians must
be trained, or at least acquainted
with the various war gases, their
treatment, and protection against
them. The advantage of a trained
population is the prevention of
panic and casualties that could
have been avoided."
Bio-Chem leaders noted that this
information that Phillips presented
to the club is the same material
that the moderator of the club,
Mr. Gorman, as instructor in the
civilian defense, is teaching air
raid wardens, as part of the education of the people of San Francisco
to the dangers of war gases.

EXECS BARELY HAVE
QUORUM FOR MEETING
With eight out of seventeen voting members absent in
the change from Friday afternoon to Sunday morning meetings, the Executive Committee met Sunday morning to transact the following business:
Expenses of the Soph Debaters and the Glee Club were
met with $30 and $5 appropriations^
approved by the Finance Committee.

idea "investigated" by a four-man
committee, was informed that he

student body for his work during
the past two years.
BATTLE ON FIGHTS
Treasurer Al Lawson made an effort to bring control of the Foghorn
Intramurals back to the Foghorn,
an effort that was only partly successful after negotiations with the
Athletic Department through the
week. Lawson wanted complete control for the paper, which succeeded
in getting half in a compromise for
full control in the future.
The Executives protested that the
Foghorn "Buy A Jeep" campaign
had not been brought to their attention before it was broken in the
columns of the student paper. Publication heads, absent at the time,
this week promised a detailed explanation of the plan at the next
meeting this Sunday.
Don Horgan announced that the
Senior Patio, long-awaited but now
seldom-used goal of the class of

organizing the various events scheduled for the dayy's activities," the
Junior President concluded.
DON GLEEMEN
BOLSTER BID
FOR HONORS

coveted goal of a championship
spot in Fred Waring's National

strengthened their bid for the
National Glee honors with two
successful rehearsals this week and
a few new members added to their
roster.

of "Sweet and Low", "USF Hymn"
and another popular selection to
be chosen by the conductor, Mr.
Leo Hovorka sometimes in the near
future.
"WE CAN WIN"
"Our call for new recruits is
still on", stated Mr. Hovorka
this week. " We can use any and
every man willing and able to
turn out for the Glee Club.
"Every day I am more oon-
vinced that we can really go
places in this contest if we
receive the cooperation of every
student on the campus.
"If you can't sing, then send
someone, one of your friends
who can, around to rehersals.
TRD? TO N. Y.
"We have a bunch of boys who
are out to win for themselves
and for USF some really fine
publicity, AND A TRIP TO
NEW YORK VIA UNITED ADS
LINES, WITH PERSONAL APPEARANCES IN CARNEGDE
HALL AND ON THE RADIO
OVER A NATION-WIDE HOOKUP."
"The end in view is certainly one
worth striving after," Hovorka concluded.

the wholehearted endorsement of
the Dean of the University, Father
Raymond Feely, S. J., and the
Dean of Men, Father John Giambastiani, S. J.

Says "Long
Cruel War
In Sight"
Speaking on the topic
"Youth in America's Crisis",
Robert McCarthy was pronounced the winner in the
final round of the thirty-
seventh annual Luckman ora-
torial contest last Tuesday
evening in the University auditorium.
"The class of '42 has nothing more
to look forward to than a long,
cruel, and mechanized war, but
we will fight for the country which
has given us everything we have
or ever hoped to have. We are only
too happy to protect its shores from
the enemies of society," McCarthy
said.
Eugene O'Meara, winner of the
1941 contest, gave the introductory
remarks and introduced the speakers.
Bill Wall spoke on the "Basis
for Battles." "Every part of history
shows that Liberty is a part of
every man's life, that he fought
for it till he won, just as the
United States eventually will
also," he said.
"A Challenge to the American
People" was the topic Frank Mc
Ginnis chose to discuss. "I do not
fear the leaders, the soldiers,
sailors, and marines. I fear the
people themselves", he said.
Gerald O'Connor, who spoke on
"Peace-Then What?" said there
will be no peace in this world till
the world will rumble, not with
guns, but with people falling to
their knees crying out "Lord
save us, lest we perish.'
The fifth speaker, Tom Collins,
pointed out that we are told to
aot normally in these times of
war. "We will never win this war,
if we act normally," Collins said.
"We must first return to God, we
must prove to Him that we are
worthy of winning this war!"
"Science vs. Christianity" was
discussed by John Gallagher.
"Religion is the strongest sentiment and bond to hold two things
together," he said. "Religion must
be the bond which will hold the
United States and victory together."
he concluded.

Convention
TIME, PLACE UNKNOWN;
PLAN FOR "ART WEEK"
According to President Achille
Muschi the scheduled convention
of Bay Region college Italian club3
will definitely take place this semester at a location not yet decided
upon by organization officials.
Plans now under consideration
for the annual event designed to
further and promote an interest
and appreciation in Italian art and
culture, await only final faculty
approval before any action is taken.
Those participating in the convention are the Italian clubs from
Saint Mary's, Santa Clara, University of San Francisco and the
Salesian Academy.
It was also reported that President Muschi is working on a plan
to hold an "Italian Art Week"
here on the USF campus some
time later in the semester at
which famous works of contemporary Italian artists will be displayed.
The event, however, is still in the
formative stages and nothing
definite is known as yet concerning
the time and nature of the affair.
